Needs towns and or minigames, it needs to put you in places where battle's aren't the focus, that was the ultimate fail in FFXIII for me, all you did was jog and battle, no talking or any feeling of freedom.

Yeah no idea why they talk about random battles when there were non in FFXIII.

Aside from that I would like to see towns come back and be more open ended(like how X-2 was basically do the story line whenever you want and more of the game was side quests then the main story line).

Mini games should be in there and they have a place for that in the game with the Nautilus park that Vanille and Sazh went to.

As for the whole not wanting Snow in the game. Well I bet he is gonna have heavy involvement. He is supposed to be Serah's Husband/boyfriend and considering she is the main character he might be there alot(unless he disappeared along with Lightning which is entirely possible).

I'm looking forward to the game I liked XIII and going by X-2 alot of Game play issues will be fixed(X-2 may have had a crap story but they made a better battle system and MUCH more open world)

Although I liked the original, it still needs some improvements. I'd recommend:

1) Exploration 2) Overworld with Controllable Airships and vehicles 3) Minigames and side diversions 4) Towns 5) New Paradigm Jobs 6) New Upgrading system to replace Crystallium 7) Fix the some what Awkward Camera 8) Limit Breaks 9) Victory Fanfare and the original Prelude 10) Traditional shop system 11) Raise in difficulty 12) Tutorial type Linearity ends after about 3 to 5 hours as opposed to 25-30 in the first XIII. 13) Optional Challenge bosses like Omega Weapon.

Rebooted huh? I guess that's what happens when your parent company (Midway) goes bankrupt and your fighting game franchise gets launched into the gutter. Had to start out fresh by fishing Boon and his decrepit fighting game out of the sewers. You're right man, makes sense now.

I want FF to be based on crystals again. Just like how it was in FF 1 to 7.

FF6 and 7 where very original, by turning the crystals in 6 into dead bodies of espers, and allowing summons and magics trough them. And in 7 the crystals where concentrations of life stream from the planet, also allowing summons, and magics.

Then for some reason they turned it to cards in 8, and came with even crappier idea's after that.....

Why can't Square leave FF alone and create new franchises? Why now everything has to be named FF? Why we have 4 different FFXIII games? Why ruining the numbered series with the inclusion of an MMO instead of being called FF Online or something like they did with Tactics?

What happened to Square? Where are the new Chrono Trigger's, FFVI's, Secret of Mana's, Xenogear's? There is no innovation anymore, now everything's about milking FF and ruining old franchise like Parasite Eve.

How about a completely new game, with characters that don't suck (Except for Sazh, he can be in it.) And a story that makes sense with a lot less made up crap (I mean who actually gave a crap about L'cie and Fal'cie, i sure didn't).

I would also like to see a character is doesn't get effing depressed every time something happens.
